I have several posts on the blog about the Faroe Islands, most of which are about lighthouses, but one of them mentions a world-class swimmer from the islands, which despite being surrounded by COLD water, isn't common for a low-population region such as this.
Now, if you happened to see the live+CGI remake of How to Train Your Dragon (which was quite good), there were great aerial views of the Faroe Islands in some of the flying scenes. But one I think they skipped, because of the proximity of human habitation, was an iconic (perhaps THE iconic) shot of the islands: the Múlafossur (Mule Falls).
Why is it iconic? Because this slender strand of whitewater drops straight off the island over a rocky cliff into the ocean. And sometimes, when the wind is strong, the waterfall reverses and a lot of the water never makes it to the ocean, it gets blown back onto the land.
There are hundreds of pictures and videos of this feature. Just search and see. If you want to get there and see it in person, this is a good read:
